Mailloux: Learning from Alumni

[TheJackBurton]

Who else would rather have Leddy and Bolduc than Mailloux and Bugs? Army had a rough offseason.

OK so we have leddy and Bolduc, how does that help Hofer actually stop the puck?

I hover more in the boards than post but over the years I have seen comments from people here that obviously know more about hockey than I will ever know. When it comes to young defense men the same comment comes up every single time, "Takes longer to develop as a dman". Saw those comments when the Blues drafted Johson, Petro and Payrayko. The kid is 22 years old.

Pronger on Mailloux:

“The biggest concern I would have for him is that he starts listening to the naysayers and listening to all the backlash, good or bad, and get consumed by all of that and not just focus on playing the game, developing, learning, understanding and finding his niche,” Pronger said. “How is he going to play? Is he going to be this hard-nosed, two-way defenseman? Is he going to defend hard, make a good first pass, support the play? Based on what I’m looking at, he’s not like an offensive power-play guy. He can supplement and be on the second unit maybe down the line. Maybe he doesn’t. Maybe he’s a defensive-defenseman, he kills penalties, he plays tough and he plays hard. All of that is unknown. We’re looking at an unknown commodity because he hasn’t played. He’s played 12 f--king NHL games! And one season in the AHL. It is all really new. You’re painting with a blank canvas because he hasn’t played in any league very long, so you really don’t know what he can or can’t be because it’s all right there. So really it’s just a matter of blocking out the noise and just put the f--king work boots on and getting to work and start trying to figure out what you want, how good you want to be and what are you going to do to get there."

“The biggest concern I would have for h ... et there.”

Oh...that's just Pronger deflecting for...for...well somebody.

He's well known for that....never been a straight guy.
hahaha

Leddy is currently getting third pairing minutes on a 1-4-2 team that finished dead last in the NHL last season, in case you all were wondering how he is doing.

Is this me following you again? You hang on my every word lol

[ManitobaBlues]

Thanks "Army"...you fargin idiot!

ya flippin’ beauty of an idiot, eh!

[sneptsmoustache]

At this point, it’s not the off ice support that’s important. It’s the on ice performance.

(bleep), people would pay good money for this type of hard-hitting analysis, you should start a blog or a podcast or something. Until this point I hadn't even THOUGHT about the possibility that on-ice performance was most important! Thank you

Of course. You’re welcome. It’s as obvious as what Pronger said after all

He's not wrong, LM needs to perform I actually thought he played OK for the shifts he had last night. I really think Monty needs to stop sheltering and let him go. I get it he has an awful +/-, rugged but ive seen glimpses of a kid that can play a bit

They need to play from a place of strength as opposed to trying to cover the weaknesses. They have the makeups of a really good top 4. They need to spend 2 weeks just seeing if they can overwhelm the other team with the bottom pairing not being very good and grow together. If that doesn't work, call up a Suter or something. It's not a great answer but you know the guy can be responsible

[Mr.Snuggleupagus]

If that doesn't work, call up a Suter or something.

They would have to sign him first, can't just call up a guy not under contact.

Careful.

If you acknowledge all his idiotic biased posts he'll claim you are following him.

You're supposed to just read scores of his weekly kraaap and take it on the chin.

Like calling Pronger out.

The guy who crawled back from his ban....who can't live without this place....yet every one is following him.

You can't make this up.

You say I follow you and you can’t stop talking about me and reading my every word.

Have you ever had a FSIQ?

You seem to be the one following him around.
Try harder Princess.
You live for attention. You make it so obvious.

I think it’s one of the reason you lie so much. You crave attention.

Oh yeah? Show me a couple examples of when I quote him where’s he’s not talking about me directly

As for following behavior I encourage people to open up your post history and make their own assessment

You always lose

[theograce]

At least you admitted you your pal follows me as hard as you do.

I mean you don’t understand hockey and yet and you dedicate your post history to a guy you think is a loser

That’s hot
